Will OEM Mercedes W210 Rims Fit W211 E320
Hello -- I am a new member of this forum. I recently purchased a CPO '07 E-320CDI - my first M-B. I want to pick up 4 snows w/rims for next winter. There is currently a set on eBay however they are OEM W210. Aside from the different style, does anyone know if W210 rims will fit on the car?
Thank you
Alex

Alex - they MIGHT fit.
Following advice is AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Rad USA makes lug bolts with hybrid ball seat and width sizing.
I used W211 rims on my earlier W210 by buying bolts that had an R14 ball seat and a 12mm thread. In other words, the head of the bolt fit the 14mm seat of the W211 rim and the 12mm thread matched my existing W210 hub.
If the holes in the W210 rim are large enough, you could potentially use a R12 bolt with a 14mm diameter thread. Rad makes and stocks these, here is a link -

I cannot vouch for safety, etc. just providing the info. I didn't have any problems using the W211 rims on my W210 with these bolts but I can't say if the opposite would work as well. You also have brake clearance to consider, as well as the usual things - offset, etc. In the end, not sure if it would be worth the effort.
Best bet is to try and find a set of W211 rims, unless the deal you are mentioning is worth the hassle.
